Bathrooms are kept at a distance from the sanctuary.
The sanctuary is usually built large enough to accommodate people.
the whole crowd at once, there are no pictures, there are no other distractions, and you're using a room that's designated for Torah
And for tefillah, you're not using someone's television room.
The Gemara in Brach Lestav Ches says that Rabbi Yochanan was surprised to learn that there were old people in Bavel.
Because the Torah tells us, So it's only al-adama, only in Eretz Yisrael.
So when Rabbi Yochanan heard that people go to shul early and stay late, he said, ah, that explains it.
because that's the school of Freirichus Yavim, for a person to be a shul goer.
So for those reasons and more, what about the fact that there's a rabbi in shul, and if a shaila comes up, you have someone to ask.
Last Shabbos, someone came over to me, not this past Shabbos, a week and a half ago, when we just started saying the same telemata, someone came over to me after shkia,
And he said, I just realized I forgot for St.
Double Mariv, recognizing that there is no St.
Halamater in Friday night tefillah.
Who's going to answer that at the house minion?
Truth is, I didn't know the answer, even in shul, but don't tell anybody.
